Can someone school me on the EU after ROTJ???

Ok,I've never really understood the events that happen after ROTJ.In these forums I might read someone mention a thing or two but it's really confusing and I don't know where to start and where IT ends.I want to gain more knowledge so I won't be ignorant about it. I read things like how Luke has "Emerald Lighting" and Jacen Solo can Munipulate memories and sometimes I think that it's rediculous like these are powers from like a video game or something.So can someone help me because I also read on here that Luke saw a holovid of AniVader Force Choking his Mother so does he not like him or hate him now??? and is everyone stronger than what Anakins Potential was supposed to be???and does Anakin come back as a force ghost and see his mom or Padme do him and Obi Wan reunite???it's so confusing...PLEASE HELP!!!

Thanks

 

Thanks for the info!!!! can you tell me what happens???I don't have the money to get the books rite now.....

anymore knowlegible patrons???

 

Seriously, it's impossible to tell you everything that has happened in the EU post-ROTJ to now. Even a basic summary could take pages and still leave out tons of details. Start with the books Adalia suggested and keep reading. This timeline has most of the books, but it only goes up to the NJO, and a few more books have been published since then (those are probably what you've been hearing everyone talking about). Experiencing it for yourself will be so much better than having someone tell you!

 

You'd best served by following Durron's adivce and starting with Truce at Bakura and going from there.

 

i've found the library to be invaluable in my reading. glad to see you getting interested in the EU

 

If your going for books, Truce at Bakura would be the best bet for a starter. But if you just want info, I'm 100% with GAJ on this one. The New Essential Chronology is excellent. It gives plenty of details and talks about all the battles. Plus, if you have time, Star Wars Wiki has the most detailed info about anything you really want to know that I have ever seen. But you need a lot of time on your hands to read it. And, since anybody can edit it, and tiny bit of it is fanon. But mostly facts people go in there and correct that

 

I think it would be okay if you read the thrawn tilogy first.

 

This would be harder then explaing Star Wars it self to someone who doesn't know.
